7th edition | December 18th, 2022
Our journey continues this month with Augmenta, a company that exemplifies the power of artificial intelligence to solve complex industrial challenges. Their approach goes beyond incremental improvement – it represents a shift in how we understand design, efficiency, and sustainable construction.
The Design Dilemma
Construction – a $13 trillion global industry – has long been trapped in a time warp of manual processes, inefficiency, and waste. Despite its critical importance, the sector has suffered from stagnant productivity, with 20% of professionals' time and 6% of building costs lost to design and coordination errors.
Augmenta: Bridging Design and Innovation
"Our goal is to bridge the gap between the intent of what a building should represent and its actual physical realization," says Francesco Iorio, Augmenta's co-founder and CEO. A pioneer of generative design, Iorio brings a revolutionary approach to an industry desperately seeking transformation. Francesco Iorio, co-founder and CEO of Augmenta, leads a team of experts in AI and computational science to revolutionize building design. Aaron Szymanski, head of product at Augmenta, bridges computational science and AI with user needs, bringing extensive experience from roles at real/ideal, Blackberry, and Autodesk.
